Task 1 - Maps (May 31, 2025)

The maps illustrate how the floor plan of the South Wing of Walton Museum changed between 2008 and 2012. Overall, the museum underwent a significant expansion, with new recreational and visitor-friendly facilities added both inside and outside the building.

In 2008, the museum was a single-level building with basic amenities. A winding path led from the northwest to an uncovered entrance. Inside, visitors first encountered a reception area, followed by a reading room. From the reception, visitors could go down to the underground level via stairs. To the right of the stairs was a cloak room, directly beneath the reading room. To the west, a shop and a gallery were located beneath the reception and entrance, respectively.

By 2012, the museum had undergone extensive renovations. The path remained untouched, but the entrance was covered, and an open-air terrace was built on top of it. The cloak room was relocated and combined with the reception, while a children’s play area was added in the southeast. A new restaurant was built on the second floor, just above the reception and cloak room. The gallery and shop on the underground level remained unchanged. However, the stairs were removed to make way for a lift, improving accessibility for visitors. Above the children’s play area were a reading room on the first floor, a self-service cafe on the second, and an exhibition room on the third.
